2010 Chevrolet Cruze!

[Starex_Gold]

Hi Epats,

I hope we can meet up sometime. I went down to Manila today & my odometer reading is only 675km. Baguio to Manila is approximately 283.2km, filled my tank to the brim when I reached Manila, 19.21 liters. That comes out to 14.74kpl. Not bad. I expect my FC to become better though as I'm still getting used to its driving characteristics.

I'm also posting in Baguio Auto Forums, may Tsikot thread po doon.

One of the best FC na nagawa ng Cruze

I appreciate you sharing such experience Lokar. Nakakainis yun ah. To think that you bought your cruze from the same dealer, and yet they (service men) show no courtesy, is unthinkable. I would have written a very ugly letter straight to TCCI's Atty. Arcilla and the rest of the board. These guys up there are doing the best they could to turn around the ugly impression left by the previous group GM Phils. And their hard efforts, well thought plans, time, & investments are rendered useless by these hyenas in the service bay? Ha!

Everyone. as in everyone in any dealership, whether customer service trained or non-customer service trained. Whether he's from the service area, or sales, from the janitor to the manager.. Should know that the primary need of a customer is to feel important. Since we paid close to a million for a thing... We want it to be as perfect as possible. Period. Man, if I was faced with somebody sneering at my concern... I'll most probably break his nose if there isn't anyone to pull me back. I'll pay these guys a visit in one of my PMS. See how they deal with my problem (an attitude problem). :arghhh:

oo nga po sir eh. yun nga din ineexpect ko sa kanila. na bibigyan kami ng kahit konting importansya. kaso yung mga bumungad sa amin don arogante ang dating. pero tapos na nangyare na eh. nakaka disappoint lang talaga. pero yaan na naten yun sir bigyan naten sila ng second chance. ika nga ng mga kaibigan ko HASTEL daw. hindi hustle hehe

One of the best FC na nagawa ng Cruze

Thank you sir. I'm trying to determine the best FC of this vehicle, kaya upshift ng upshift using the "manual" mode of the AT transmission.

ok naman sir mga agents nila siguro nagkataon nachempo or malas lang talaga kami at nangyari sa amin yun

Sir, share ko lang ang thoughts ko about this incident ha?

Hindi naman kasi trabaho ng mga mekaniko ang humarap sa mga clients. Ang trabaho nila ay sundin kung ano ang nakasulat sa Service Order, at habang inaatupag na ang kotse mo pwede ka naman sigurong sumilip/magtanong/mag-observe.

Suggestion ko lang, approach directly your agent to immediately assist your needs. Call him first and inform him/her na papunta ka to have your car checked kasi ang aircon ay mahina.

Pagdating mo sa casa, mas madali na lang kasi alam na ng agent mo kung ano ang problema at kung ano ang i-check at maghanap ng mekaniko na gagawa nito at kasama ka pa.

Kahit sa anong casa tayo pupunta, unang gagawin ay pumunta sa servicing agent and tell them what you want. Hindi talaga advisable na dederecho tayo sa mekaniko dahil may sinusunod din silang proseso.

Sana, let us be considerate also to these people dahil tao lang din sila.

I bought my Cruze at Chevy Pasig and everytime that I need something from them they are always happy to assist. Diyan din ako nakakuha ng magandang deal.

Needless to say, I am one satisfied client of Chevy Pasig.

oo nga may rules, kung may rules sila sana sinabi sa amin di ba? kaya nga yun yung sinasabi ko na sana man lang mano ba naman sabihin nila sa amin na "SIR, PUNTA MUNA KAYO SA INFORMATION, AGENT, OR SA RECEPTION KASI SILA MAG AASIKASO SA INYO AT KAPAG OK NA BALIK PO KAYO DITO" yun lang yung sa akin. tulad sa toyota pag dumerecho ka sa garahe nila sasalubungin ka kagad tatanong agad sayo kung ano problema pag sinabi ko na kung ano problema sasabihin nila sa akin na pasok ako sa loob at mag tanong. kukunin nila susi ng sasakyan ko at ipapark nila tapos papasok ulit sa loob at sasabihin nila sa akin sabihin ko sa kanila kung ok na. siguro nasanay lang ako sa ganon service kaso baka kapag sinabi ko yun sasabihin nanaman nila sa akin na "JAPANESE CAR UN AMERICAN CAR ITO HAHAHAHA" pero di ba tulad nga ng sabi ko TAPOS na yun di ba at wala rin naman sa amin yun. nag share lang ako ng experience ko. at kanya kanyang experience lang yan. kung ang experience nyo maganda. swerte kayo. pero yun lang sa akin. pero TAPOS na yun wala na rin sa amin yun.

pasensya na.

hehehe ako nga laging napagkamalan na bodyguard eh kasi ayoko magsuot ng barong (rebelde sa office) kaya naka-maong lang palagi na tila ba taga-kanto lang.

Anyways, I am sure nasabon na sila kahapon at tiyak hindi na mauulit yan. Kasi pag naulit yan - ay aba, lahat tayong cruze owners ay magwelga sa harapan nila!

Oo nga, The End na....

Syanga pala, since I used nitro for my gulongs, lalong gumanda ang takbo. Mas lalong hindi ramdam ang mga lubak-lubak

O hayan, change topic na.

so iba na ang owner ng chevy ba? not GM anymore? years back we had a problem sa chevy pasig with our venture. may umiingit sa dalawang harap na gulong. chevy pasig quoted 100K repair bill bec. they had to replace the entire abs system and some other system along with it dad was furious and threatened to pull out their companies' entire fleet account.

repair bill became 30K. the van was a 100% company-given car to my dad pero ang maintenance eh sa kanya na. other execs in his company were given the same model.

2 yrs pa lang ang warranty noon, and the abs failed 2 months after 2 years

pinagawa ng dad ko sa chevy pasig and sold the car a year later. other execs followed also, pinagbebenta na nila when they learned that my father sold his. imagine from 1.2M naibenta ng 500K in 3 years and only 18Tkm milegage kaya talagang kuryente kami dyan.

pero kung iba na owner sino na? looks like maganda ang bagong management ah. and if bago na nga, do they own the suzuki casa nearby also kasi alam ko GM din yun dati or Philhino ba? neither of the two ayaw namin, coz we experienced a talyer type of casa service sa Philhino edsa shaw. gusto gusto ko pa naman kumuha ng vitara na 4x2.

You can try this site "lacaraccessories" for your tint.. Have heard that they offer variety of tint brands, good service and fair warranty. And read that they tint vehicles inside an air-conditioned and dust-free room.

Nice.. Looks related to VW GTI.. Close enough to compete against the focus and impreza hatch..
Its a good news if they'll release it soon to the public..

How about the Aveo RS Hatch:

I'll try to answer your questions po.

1) 8 - I'm guessing my average consumption (highway driving) should be around 12-14kpl. Not bad for a relatively large & heavy car with an 1800cc engine. Hopefully the FC should improve as the car gets more miles under its feet. Plus, it runs on 93 octane unleaded or E10.
2) 7 - Ok naman sa overtaking & akyatan. It's a bit slow taking off from a complete stop, but once you get going, acceleration is peppy for an 1800cc engine.
3) 8 - Handling is one of the strengths of the Cruze. Sarap i-drive going up & down Baguio through Marcos Highway.
4) 9 - Malamigggg... I normally turn-off the compressor even with the blower set at the lowest fan speed of 1.
5) 8 - For it's exterior dimensions, it's roomy inside. And it has a lot of pockets & storage compartments, something a pack-rat like me appreciates. The boot is cavernous.
6) 8 - The sound system is respectable enough. But I find the radio reception a bit poor, even in the city. I wonder if its because of the antenna or if its just my car. But you get CD & USB options naman, if you get the higher versions.
7) 9 - Superb. The seats are comfortable, noise insulation is superior compared to other cars in its class.
8) ? - Too early to tell, but the service intervals of 10,000kms is less of a headache for someone like me who lives in Baguio. The dealer told me that the cost of every 10,000km PMS is comparable to two 5,000km PMS, so I guess it just evens out.
9) ? - I have not encountered any problems yet, as I have not gone in for servicing, although I think one Tsikot member already had an unpleasant experience, pero na-resolve rin naman. My suggestion is, talk to your dealer & the person who sold you the vehicle & obtain a commitment from him/her that they will help you when you need to bring the car in for service.
10) 8.5 - You get a lot of bonus points when people stare & admire your car. Many of my friends have said that the Cruze is one of the cars they'd like to own. The styling is modern but not trend-setting, FC, handling, performance & comfort is above par. The people behind TCCCI are succesfully turning around the image left by GM Philippines. Ownership satisfaction is one of their goals & they do have a respectable reputation in the automotive industry.

Good luck on your eventual choice, sir.
